If I am re-shingling my house can I use three tab shingles?
In the southern part of the state 3 tab shingles are not allowed because they are not compliant with the 90 mph wind speed required under the International Residential Code. However, the three tab shingles may be used IF the manufacturer can provide documentation from one of their engineers that proving they are compliant with the 90 MPH wind speed. This documentation must be turned in at city hall along with the installation guidelines.
